How much have you lost?

I posted earlier that I am working on remembering how far I've come to help motivate me to where I want to be... I've lost a total of 76lbs (gained some back). So I had a coworker take my picture with two 35lb Water jugs.

How much have you lost? Is there an item that weighs that amount that you can pick up to show yourself how much you're NOT carrying around any more?

I've lost 80 lbs - 30 lbs were lost while I was on the pre-op liquid diet, and I've lost 50 lbs since getting my band.

My weight has been stable for the past 2 years, but my PCP says I should loose another 60-70 lbs.

I've lost 133 pounds in 16 months with the band. Just typing that number makes me feel so good about my decision to have the LapBand. I just looked up "What weighs 130 pounds?" online and found out that I've lost a newborn giraffe. Crazy cool!

I've lost 62 pounds since May 2,2014. With the band

The first 3-6 months after surgery, I lost 36 pounds. I gained 16 back. It has been a very slooooow weight loss process for me. Now, all of a sudden one year and 4 months after surgery (June 28, 2013) I have restriction and can only eat a bite or two of anything and feel FULL for many many hours. Needless to say, I have lost about 12 pounds in only one month.

I lost my double, started off at 220lbs and went down to 110lbs current weight 116lbs I was actually crying that I was too skinny at 110lbs.
